Zen And The Art Of PTR Maintenance. Sept 2016 PTR. 16/4 Trip Report Anyone??

[alrushton]

I am the worst haggler ever! I'm just like TAKE MY MONEY!

Same here. I had a sister that worked in collections. I could never do that I would end up sending the people money instead of the other way around.

"

that your neighbors, cousins dog died and that is why you can't pay your bill. Here let me send you some money to help you out."

 

[HomeSweetDisney]

You started!!

I did! I feel like I have a lot to post already but I am trying to keep it down because my trip is 465 days away and I don't want to see TOO crazy, ya know?

Pretty much

Absolutely

We volunteer as tribute!

Hey how did you know I have that jumper?! Me and this guy are the same person! Fo realz!

I love Kimmy!

Am I the only one who finds that theme song amazingly catchy??

"Unbreakable. They alive damn it! Its a miracle!"

Love that line! #hashbrownnofilter
And YES! I love it! "They alive dammit! Females are strong as hell!"

I love Bridesmaids!

We must be soulmates!

This is totally us!

Most of the ones I wanted to put on here were not DIS friendly

You sound just like my mom! Once when we were shopping a lady said to us "Those strawberries are amazing" and my mom turned around and say "Oh my gosh I'm so sorry" and gave her the ones out of our trolley! The lady was just making small talk and did not want our strawberries!

I did! I feel like I have a lot to post already but I am trying to keep it down because my trip is 465 days away and I don't want to see TOO crazy, ya know?

Pretty much

Hey don't worry I'm pretty sure I started mine with something like 526 days to go!
You are friends with me now so basically you have a free pass to be as crazy as you want and still look normal compared to me!

We volunteer as tribute!

Oh yeah

Love that line! #hashbrownnofilter
And YES! I love it! "They alive dammit! Females are strong as hell!"

That's what I say when someone says #something!

Most of the ones I wanted to put on here were not DIS friendly

I find that all the time!

I totally read this post ages ago but never commented for some reason? BAD DIS-ER AWARD.

Disney's Downtown Springs Village! That's its name right?

Nailed it

Also I have a dilemma about flights, usually we flight from Manchester (cause its closer) but I'm debating whether to fly from Gatwick I wouldn't fly from Heathrow as they don't fly direct to Orlando?! What is up with that Heathrow?! We would have to fly to Atlanta, Detroit or New York then to MCO

Ugh I hear you so hard on this. (I think I just made up that saying, but I'm sticking with it.) Heathrow is the best, my family and I used to fly out to New York from there, and the shopping there was almost as good as in NYC It's so weird that they don't fly direct to Orlando?! I have an emotional connection to Manchester though, so I'm happy enough flying from there Have you decided yet?!

Add that to the fact my RL is all over the place right now I'm more cuckoo for coco pops than usual!

Coco pops!!! We're so British.

I did watch The Emperors New Groove yesterday!

I love that movie! Plus I have Big Hero 6 to watch tonight!

FAAAAVOURITE.

Omg Lu, I feel like you'd enjoy this.. Have you heard of the Drunk Disney videos by Practical Folks on YouTube?! They're so funny! I just rewatched the Emperor's New Groove one and lolled.

(Public Service Announcement: Language! Don't watch with children.. )

Here's the whole playlist if you enjoy it!

the Fuller House Club

I love this name and I am honoured to be a part of this group

@TheLittleKatie @Leshaface @HomeSweetDisney are the best!

YES WE ARE.

Oh! Also I went a little shopping crazy the other day and bought some uber beautiful Jimmy Choo's which arrived today!

Saw these on Insta.. GIRL. I'm not jealous at all...

BRIDESMAIDS!! I love that movie! I think we might be soulmates

We must be soulmates!

Can soulmates come in threes?!?! I LOVE BRIDESMAIDS TOO.

 

[TheLittleKatie]

@HomeSweetDisney and Lu - also regarding Bridesmaids: When I'm at Disney this year, Wilson Phillips are playing at Epcot's Eat to the Beat!!

As in these guys:

I'm hoping to see them, purely because of Bridesmaids... That's the only song I know

I totally read this post ages ago but never commented for some reason? BAD DIS-ER AWARD.

OMG Katie you are such a bad DIS-ER



I'm just kidding! You are here now that is all that matters!

Nailed it

I thought so!

Ugh I hear you so hard on this. (I think I just made up that saying, but I'm sticking with it.) Heathrow is the best, my family and I used to fly out to New York from there, and the shopping there was almost as good as in NYC It's so weird that they don't fly direct to Orlando?! I have an emotional connection to Manchester though, so I'm happy enough flying from there Have you decided yet?!

I hear you so hard too (I think we can make this a thing ) I keep flip flopping between what to do! I'm sure me being indesisve and not able to make a decidsion is a HUGE shock to everyone! That never happens!

I think I'm going to wait and see what the prices look like when the flights are release (not till October/November ) then maybe make a decision

But if we fly from London then we could go down a day early and hit Oxford Street for any last minute things we might need!

THEN if we fly a couple of days earlier then we could still spend some time in NYC......yeah....I really do have a problem!

Coco pops!!! We're so British.

We really are! Can I just ask you as a fellow Brit do you find American bacon really weird??

How do they get bacon so weird??

FAAAAVOURITE.

Omg Lu, I feel like you'd enjoy this.. Have you heard of the Drunk Disney videos by Practical Folks on YouTube?! They're so funny! I just rewatched the Emperor's New Groove one and lolled.

Ummm....can this be my job now???? I love this!!

This looks a lot like what our Disney movie week we be like me thinks!

I love this name and I am honoured to be a part of this group

YES WE ARE.

I'm now cool by association!

Saw these on Insta.. GIRL. I'm not jealous at all...

Seriously I just keep staring at them!

They so so so so beautiful!

I feel like I should pull a Carrie:

That counts right??

Can soulmates come in threes?!?! I LOVE BRIDESMAIDS TOO.

I think we are a soulmate group! If that isn't a thing....its should be!

 

[BibbitybobityLu]

@HomeSweetDisney and Lu - also regarding Bridesmaids: When I'm at Disney this year, Wilson Phillips are playing at Epcot's Eat to the Beat!!

As in these guys:



I'm hoping to see them, purely because of Bridesmaids... That's the only song I know

Oh wow!! I hope they do that song! You should totally get a video of you and Jamie dancing to this song:

 

[pkondz]

I'm back. And to answer your question, "yes".
Of course I missed you.

I am still planning away!

I quoted that because I had something clever and witty to say about it.
No idea what. But I bet it was good.

The thing on the river...hmmm...I have no idea what its called...

No! That's its name! I saw a new map that they're putting out soon.
Disney's Magical Thing on the River.

Also I am super duper excited for all the new stuff at Disney's Downtown Springs Village! That's its name right?

No matter how long it takes for that name to sink in, I'll still be typing "DTD".

Only because I'm slow, of course.

Why is this trip so far away!!

It's Einstein's fault. He invented time and waiting for holidays.

Also I have a dilemma about flights, usually we flight from Manchester (cause its closer) but I'm debating whether to fly from Gatwick I wouldn't fly from Heathrow as they don't fly direct to Orlando?!

I was surprised to read that. If anything, I figured the only place to get a direct flight would've been EGLL.

Don't judge! Its an illness! )

We accept you for who you are.
nuff said.

Add that to the fact my RL is all over the place right now I'm more cuckoo for coco pops than usual! Sorry about that!

so bare with me!

Oh boy!!!

Plus I just made a brand new Facebook page

I facebook religiously.
Which means that I should go at least once a week but seldom do.

Nothing quite like shopping to heal your hurts and soul the soul!

Erm... We may have to agree to disagree on this one.

Can I just ask you as a fellow Brit do you find American bacon really weird??

How do they get bacon so weird??

Okay, so do you find both of those weird? Or just the bottom one?

 

[HomeSweetDisney]

Hey don't worry I'm pretty sure I started mine with something like 526 days to go!
You are friends with me now so basically you have a free pass to be as crazy as you want and still look normal compared to me!

Well that's a relief

Oh yeah

I love how we keep just basically posting drinking gif's - I feel this defines our friendship very well

That's what I say when someone says #something!

#hashtagmyhashbrown

Can soulmates come in threes?!?! I LOVE BRIDESMAIDS TOO.

THEY ABSOLUTELY CAN!!

@HomeSweetDisney and Lu - also regarding Bridesmaids: When I'm at Disney this year, Wilson Phillips are playing at Epcot's Eat to the Beat!!

As in these guys:



I'm hoping to see them, purely because of Bridesmaids... That's the only song I know

SO JEALOUS! You have to go! My parents will be there in Nov when Hanson are playing and I LOVE THEM. I have loved Hanson since I was 11! If that makes me lame them so be it

I think we are a soulmate group! If that isn't a thing....its should be!

This should definitely be a thing! "soulmate groups are so fetch right now."

 

[TheLittleKatie]

But if we fly from London then we could go down a day early and hit Oxford Street for any last minute things we might need!

THEN if we fly a couple of days earlier then we could still spend some time in NYC......yeah....I really do have a problem!

So the holiday plan has now evolved to:

Home > London > New York > Orlando > New York > London > Home

GIRL YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.

We really are! Can I just ask you as a fellow Brit do you find American bacon really weird??

How do they get bacon so weird??

Omg RIGHT?! What IS that?! Our bacon is just the best thing ever. American bacon is literally just streaks of fat?!?! WHY. We need to host a bacon intervention for our American Disney friends and show them what a real bacon sandwich is

Ummm....can this be my job now???? I love this!!

This looks a lot like what our Disney movie week we be like me thinks!

For sure! We can look up the recipes for some Disney cocktails to go with our Disney food recipes we make to eat whilst watching Disney films Haha we're crazy.

I feel like I should pull a Carrie:

YES I love this. And after our Disney marathon we can watch Sex and the City.. I have the complete box set And that means we HAVE to make Cosmopolitans

I think we are a soulmate group! If that isn't a thing....its should be!

THEY ABSOLUTELY CAN!!

This should definitely be a thing! "soulmate groups are so fetch right now."

Since we're referencing Sex and the City:

And @Leshaface since you're also part of the Fuller House club, I feel like you need to jump in here and agree that you enjoy Bridesmaids, be our soulmate too please

Okay, so do you find both of those weird? Or just the bottom one?

No no the top bacon is normal amazing bacon. The bottom one is FAKE bacon. Or Fakon. (I like merging words. I still use shrimp+incident = shrimpcident )

 

[BibbitybobityLu]

I'm back. And to answer your question, "yes".
Of course I missed you.

I quoted that because I had something clever and witty to say about it.
No idea what. But I bet it was good.

I'm sure it would have been very clever and witty. Those are always the words I use when I think of you!

No! That's its name! I saw a new map that they're putting out soon.
Disney's Magical Thing on the River.

See I am so good at knowing the name of things!

No matter how long it takes for that name to sink in, I'll still be typing "DTD".

Only because I'm slow, of course.

By the time you get used to the new name they will change it again!

It's Einstein's fault. He invented time and waiting for holidays.

Darn it Einstein!

I was surprised to read that. If anything, I figured the only place to get a direct flight would've been EGLL.

No for some reason they don't fly to Orlando from Heathrow

We accept you for who you are.
nuff said.

Awww thanks guys! I'll just be me then!

Oh boy!!!

See @TheLittleKatie its ALWAYS his fault!

I facebook religiously.
Which means that I should go at least once a week but seldom do.

I follow that religion too!

Erm... We may have to agree to disagree on this one.

Shopping is the best. No need to disagree, its just a fact!

Okay, so do you find both of those weird? Or just the bottom one?

Only the bottom one is weird. The top one is REAL bacon and is the best

 

[BibbitybobityLu]

Well that's a relief

I love how we keep just basically posting drinking gif's - I feel this defines our friendship very well

I feel friendship based on booze is very strong!

THEY ABSOLUTELY CAN!!

And in fours! Cant' forget @Leshaface! (Okay there are five of those...just pretend there are four! )

SO JEALOUS! You have to go! My parents will be there in Nov when Hanson are playing and I LOVE THEM. I have loved Hanson since I was 11! If that makes me lame them so be it

I loved Hanson when I was a kid!

Did anyone actually know the lyrics to this song???

This should definitely be a thing! "soulmate groups are so fetch right now."

 

[BibbitybobityLu]

So the holiday plan has now evolved to:

Home > London > New York > Orlando > New York > London > Home

GIRL YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.

I really do!

Omg RIGHT?! What IS that?! Our bacon is just the best thing ever. American bacon is literally just streaks of fat?!?! WHY. We need to host a bacon intervention for our American Disney friends and show them what a real bacon sandwich is

I just don't understand it AT ALL!! How do they get it so so wrong?? Seriously they do need a baconrvention! Its just not right

For sure! We can look up the recipes for some Disney cocktails to go with our Disney food recipes we make to eat whilst watching Disney films Haha we're crazy.

Ohhh yes this is a plan!

YES I love this. And after our Disney marathon we can watch Sex and the City.. I have the complete box set And that means we HAVE to make Cosmopolitans

Umm...YEAH!

Since we're referencing Sex and the City:

And @Leshaface since you're also part of the Fuller House club, I feel like you need to jump in here and agree that you enjoy Bridesmaids, be our soulmate too please

Please join our soulmate group @Leshaface!

No no the top bacon is normal amazing bacon. The bottom one is FAKE bacon. Or Fakon. (I like merging words. I still use shrimp+incident = shrimpcident )

Exactly! I'm sure those Canadians don't understand real bacon either!

 

[DonnaBeeGood]

.

 

[pkondz]

So what exactly is she miming cupping in her open hand?

I'm sure it would have been very clever and witty. Those are always the words I use when I think of you!

Well, you're half right!

See I am so good at knowing the name of things!

By the time you get used to the new name they will change it again!

Not if it's a lousy name. Then they won't change it until after I'm dead.

Darn it Einstein!

Awww thanks guys! I'll just be me then!

Dear Lord! What have we done?!?!?

See @TheLittleKatie its ALWAYS his fault!

Methinks she doth protest too much.

Only the bottom one is weird. The top one is REAL bacon and is the best

Which is why, in North America, the top one is known as Canadian bacon.
Just sayin'.

 

[HomeSweetDisney]

Since we're referencing Sex and the City:

And @Leshaface since you're also part of the Fuller House club, I feel like you need to jump in here and agree that you enjoy Bridesmaids, be our soulmate too please

Awwwwwwwwwwwww you girls are the BEST

No no the top bacon is normal amazing bacon. The bottom one is FAKE bacon. Or Fakon. (I like merging words. I still use shrimp+incident = shrimpcident )

STOP WITH THE BACON DISCRIMINATION...remember, not all American bacon is created equal! Disney bacon tends to be pretty pathetic but come down south and we have some awesome, yummy bacon. Your bacon looks like ham to me

Shopping is the best. No need to disagree, its just a fact!

So true, and my credit card hates me for it

I mean, it's true though

I feel friendship based on booze is very strong!

Such a valid point!

And in fours! Cant' forget @Leshaface! (Okay there are five of those...just pretend there are four! )

LOVE THIS (maybe @pkondz could be the 5th member of our girl group )

I loved Hanson when I was a kid!

Did anyone actually know the lyrics to this song???

Yes. Yes I do know all the words. In fact I know all the words to almost all of their songs! No shame whatsoever

 

[pkondz]

LOVE THIS (maybe @pkondz could be the 5th member of our girl group )

I'm in! I'm.... uh.... wait.... what?

 

[BibbitybobityLu]

STOP WITH THE BACON DISCRIMINATION...remember, not all American bacon is created equal! Disney bacon tends to be pretty pathetic but come down south and we have some awesome, yummy bacon. Your bacon looks like ham to me

You need to come to the UK and we will make you a proper bacon sarnie, right @TheLittleKatie? Our bacon is the best! Clearly American ham is different too!

So true, and my credit card hates me for it

Urg ain't that the truth! I'm surprised my credit card hasn't melted by now!

LOVE THIS (maybe @pkondz could be the 5th member of our girl group )

He would be perfect!

Yes. Yes I do know all the words. In fact I know all the words to almost all of their songs! No shame whatsoever

Hey no shame needed!

I'm in! I'm.... uh.... wait.... what?

You are in!

 

[BibbitybobityLu]

Hey can you guess what today is?

No?

Okay I'll tell you!

Its one year to Disney!!!

Isn't that exciting??

Do I have anything else to add today??

Errr.....

Nope! Bye then!

(Don't blame me its been a really long week! )​
